Watchman

Decent thriller movie. Enjoyed watching it. Some scenes were predictable but I didn't feel bored because of cinematography, BGM, picturization, comedy portions. Director need to focus on keeping the audience at the edge of the seat by setting more twists in his upcoming films. Anyhow, Applause to the entire crew for making decent film!

Dear movie makers, I understand that you don't have to have knowledge about everything in the world.

But every person in the universe know that golden retriever breed dogs are the least ferocious and the most common family dog breed ever.

People also joke about how they allow burglars to come in.

This movie is an insult to Golden retrievers.

Okay, let's imagine this dog was a killer dog.

But the dog you actually casted in it was nothing but cute.

It doesn't even make an angry face.

And the music playing for the dog as if it's a dinosaur is absolutely hilarious.

I gave you the stars only because I enjoyed seeing this beautiful dog.

I love you doggy!!!!

Thanks.

Watchman is a 2019 film directed by A.L. Vijay. The movie focuses on the character that was played by G.V. Prakash. This movie is precise and finishes in 90 minutes. Even if it was more than 5 minutes, it would have been really boring and unnecessary... There are no duet songs... Love songs... Build-up songs... and etc. There is just one song which is also not when the movie is running, it is in the credits scene. It is completely watchable. Usually, if this was a Pakka Tamil movie, they would drag one more hour, but this was precisely finished. G.V. Prakash's acting was acceptable, pretty good. The BGM is really good but it is a bit over-used in some scenes. When the villain is talking (in Hindi) there are irritatable dubbings added in the back. They should have gone with subtitles because the villain seemed to talk with full emotions. The dog's acting and stunts were impressive, it has done a good job. The girlfriend's scenes were not extra and was done precisely... Overall this movie is a really good film, an amazing thriller with a quick and crisp storyline. I highly recommend you to watch this... Don't listen to the other negative reviews... Those are reviewed by people that prefer highly commercial films by famous actors... A.L. Vijay has done a great job... Hat's off!

Well Done!

The lead actor has done a wonderful job of annoying the audience till the last scene. In fact, the entire crew has done an exceptional job at making this movie cringe-worthy. Those slow motions in this movie are as annoying as those in the TV soaps. Some of the dialogues and the script in general make you feel dumb for watching this movie. It is clear that the writer and director (and everybody else involved in making this movie) believe that the people who watch this movie are too stupid to think for themselves.

The actors are so bad in this movie that even the miscast dog seems to emote better. The film-makers deserve this contempt mainly because of what they chose to do with the character of the dog at the end just to evoke sympathy.

A pathetic movie!

As usually like the director's earlier films, it also seemed like a Korean movie remake with the cut to the chase scenes and theme of the night based one but it was somewhat watchable with the dog playing games.
